RUSTY EYE – POSSESSOR:
Released for the first time on Vinyl!
RELEASE DATE: 12/05/2016

Arguably Rusty Eye’s best album, released in 2009, Possessor is the album that established Rusty Eye as one of the most original acts in the genre, with its seamless mix of elements from Thrash, NWOBHM, Punk, Hard Rock, Speed Metal Death Metal, Black Metal and Prog Rock.
The critically acclaimed third album was Produced by Drummer/Vocalist Miss Randall, and mixed by Jeremy Blair (Guns n’ Roses), Possessor also includes collaborations from Claudio Simonetti (Goblin), Waldemar Sorychta (Grip Inc) and Alex Mitchell (Circus of Power). The artwork was done by Joe Petagno, better known for most Motörhead album covers.
Currently Miss Randall, Mr Rust and Baron Murtland are in the studio recording the follow up album to Saca el Cobre, to be released in 2017.

Note to Rusty Eye: Calling your live album a “sonic documentary” is unnecessarily pretentious, especially if you’re already a moderately well-respected underground horror-metal act with an awesome multi-camera gimmick on its website (rustyeye.com – seriously, check it out). Although suffering from the questionable recording quality (the band calls it “D.I.Y.,” but it may well be closer to “bootleg”), the second live album from the LA-based trio works hard to consolidate the best elements from the group’s canon, including songs from it’s 2005 Cryogenic EP and it’s latest, Possessor (disappointingly, sans Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti, who played on the album the track “Wings of a Demon”). The band’s passion for horror culture aside, these performances are occasionally loose, while basically re-treading familiar ground. Inevitably, this comes off as an unsolicited vanity project from a band that still needs to refine its sonic identity.

Big laughs mix with gory kills in this TWILIGHT ZONE-esqe suspenser when tension in Hollywood boils over and its inhabitants finally reveal the flawed monsters they really are.

I HATE L.A. is a bold new feature film of ten interlocking horror vignettes written and directed by six lady directors.

Like PARIS JE T’AIME, each filmmaker set her short story in a specific region of L.A. county. Unlike the beautiful city of light, love, and culture, Los Angeles is perhaps the most hated and berated metropolis in the world. Continue reading

Yeah, so I’ve said this before, but I can’t say it enough: Rusty Eye is one of the coolest horror-themed bands working today, to the point of redefining the whole concept of “horror metal.” Every aspect of their music – songwriting, performing style, production and visual presentation, the whole deal – reflects the same passion for all things macabre that you FEARnet fiends share. But all that would be wasted if they weren’t also a technically solid, entertaining and insanely heavy band. The sonic proof’s all in there, evolving with each new release and proving that the LA-based trio isn’t just some Fulci-obsessed garage combo. Now Rusty Eye have released a new live record chronicling their April 2010 performance at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill, and I got to spend some quality ear-time with the album. Read on and I’ll drop some knowledge on ya… Continue reading

One of our all-time fave horror-metal bands is not only still going strong after fifteen years, but they’ve managed to carve their names in music history (with a blood-encrusted scalpel, naturally), thanks to the release of their second live album, Rusty Eye: Live at the Rainbow MMX. The talented trio of Miss Randall, Mr. Rust and Baron Murtland became the first band ever to record a live set at the legendary LA club, and this so-called “sonic documentary” is now available for your listening pleasure. We’ve got tons of sweet details below the fold, so get in here and check it out! Continue reading
